The next time you’re at your
dental office in Tyson’s Corner, VA, ask your dentist about the most important things you can do for your
oral health. There’s a good chance he or she will mention flossing.
Flossing is an easy but effective way of reducing your risk of cavities
and gum disease, but for it to make the most impact on your dental care,
you have to do it the right way.

Watch this video for tips on how to floss your teeth. Both waxed and unwaxed
floss work well, so choose the one you like the best. Glide the floss
between your teeth, following the curves and being sure to get the gums
and the backs of the teeth. Repeat until you have flossed all of the teeth
in your mouth.
